Frequently asked questions
What is business intelligence for an accounting firm?
It turns your practice-management, time and billing data into live dashboards for WIP, utilisation, recovery and client profitability — and lets you benchmark your clients against official ABS and ATO data to add advisory value.
Which practice-management systems does Corvana connect to?
Corvana connects to tools accounting firms run — including Xero Practice Manager, MYOB Practice, Karbon, Ignition and FYI — so metrics are built from your real data with no manual exports.
Can Corvana show which clients and services are most profitable?
Yes. Corvana reports margin by client, job and service line including write-offs and recovery, so partners can reprice or reshape low-margin work.
Can we benchmark clients against industry data?
Yes. Corvana can compare a client's performance against ABS and ATO small-business benchmarks, giving your team ready-made talking points for advisory conversations.
